Today, May 22, 2025, Meg Wah (My Earth) celebrates the International Day for Biological Diversity. Biodiversity is a variety of all living things on Earth like animals, plants, fungi, and even tiny microbes and the places they live. It includes everything from the smallest insert to the biggest whale, and all the different ecosystems, like forests, oceans, and deserts. This year’s theme is dubbed, ‘‘Harmony with Nature and Sustainable Development’’ which highlights the urgent need to reconnect humanity with the natural world and promote sustainable development.
The day aims to raise awareness about biodiversity issues, promote global action for conservation, and encourage sustainable use of natural resources.The theme for this year resonates with Meg Wah’s vision of humans living in harmony with nature. Together, we can be part of the plan by raising awareness of reviving environmental consciousness for sustainable development in our communities.
As we mark this important day, let’s recognize the significance of biodiversity in providing clean air and water, soil fertility, climate regulation, and pollination. The International Day of Biological Diversity offers a global platform to educate people about the importance of biodiversity and the need to protect it for future generations. Let’s work together to halt biodiversity loss and restore ecosystems.
